Note on data transfer to the USA
Our website contains several tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are enabled, they can forward your personal data to the US server of that particular company. We would like to inform you that the USA is not a secure third country as defined by EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to divulge personal data to security agencies without you as the person concerned having any right to take legal action to prevent this. As a result, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. Intelligence services) will process, analyse and permanently save data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can reject the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked.
Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

It is assumed, however, that the interests of Th. Geyer GmbH & Co. KG in the taking and use of photos will not excessively interfere with the rights and freedoms of natural persons, especially because they have entered the public space, the fact that photos would be taken and used was communicated in advance and at the event, and when taking and publishing the photos it is ensured that no justified interests of the people depicted are violated. If the rights and freedoms of a person depicted are violated under particularly extenuating circumstances, however, we will prevent further processing using suitable measures. Deletion cannot take place in printed media that have already been published. Deletion will take place on the website or on social media channels where technically possible.
